  • Vacuum cleaners are used to collect the accumulated Dusty filter bags - including larger ones Filter bags or the like to understand - used. It is by means of of a blower generates a suction flow that injects the dust a suction channel, suction hose or the like. pulls and from there through a dust inlet opening in the filter bag promotes. The dust contained in the intake air becomes retained by the filter bag wall during the Dust-free air flow penetrates the filter bag wall and is then blown out into the environment. Is the filter bag full, it is removed and can be thrown away.
  • the filter bag is attached to the vacuuming device by means of the filter bag in the area of its inlet opening attached connector that attached so is that the passage opening formed by the base body layers with the inlet opening of the filter bag covers so that the dust air can be introduced.
  • closure means is of one piece attached extension of the slide element is formed and stands out on the opposite side of the handle the body. This protruding area of the closure means can interfere with handling, especially when inserting the connector into the assigned receptacle in the respective vacuum cleaner.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to create a connector of the type mentioned, which has a more compact structure.
  • Closure means in the starting position in the form of a present in the transverse direction, not hardened and plastically when a tensile force occurs deforming plastic material that exists between the basic body layers on the one hand on the slide element and on the other sticks to the body and when transferring the slide element lengthened in the closed position in the longitudinal direction and to a through-opening sealing membrane is pulled out.
  • the closure means no longer ends like since then free outside of the basic body but inside the Basic body and is not only on the one hand on the slide element but also fixed to the base body.
  • the closing means can have its closing function fulfill what is made possible by its extendable training becomes. In the starting position, the closure means therefore has a relatively short length, which when transferred into the closed position by that exerted by the slide element Tractive force is increased.
  • the slide element expediently consists of rigid material, especially cardboard material.
  • the connector 1 is dash-dotted for only in Figure 3 partially indicated filter bag 2, whose Front wall 3 contains an inlet opening 4, in the area thereof attached to the outside of the front wall 3, the connector 1 is what is done regularly by gluing.
  • the filter bag 2 consists of air-permeable filter material (Paper, fleece, etc.) and is placed in a vacuum cleaner used.
  • the connector 1 is used to manufacture the connection of the filter bag with a device Recording, in the area of which usually a device-side There is a connecting piece through the connector 1 and the inlet opening 4 of the bag front wall 3 is inserted becomes.
  • the connector 1 has a substantially plate-shaped Shape. Its outline can be rectangular or in another Be shaped so that you can adapt to each Device type of the vacuum cleaner or the connector on its sustained recording.
  • the connector 1 has a substantially plate-shaped Base body 5, the two arranged one above the other Contains base layers 6, 7, which are made of rigid material, in particular Cardboard material.
  • base layers 6, 7 which are made of rigid material, in particular Cardboard material.
  • One of the two basic body layers, the lower base body layer 7 is the filter bag front wall 3 facing and glued to this.
  • the filter bag facing away, upper base layer 6, is in the embodiment essentially opaque above the lower one Layer 7 arranged.
  • the base body 5 also contains a passage opening 8, the for plugging the connector 1 on the device side Connection piece serves and in the embodiment by a corresponding perforation of the two base body layers 6, 7 is formed.
  • the passage opening 8 is aligned with the Entry opening 4 of the filter bag front wall 3 arranged.
  • a perforated sealing membrane (not shown) be attached, the ring-like in the passage opening 8 protrudes and when plugging onto the connecting piece nestles around this.
  • the connector 1 further contains a between the two main body layers 6, 7 arranged and in it Longitudinal direction 10 slidably guided slide element 11, in which one assigned to the passage opening 8 of the base body 5 Through opening 12 is formed.
  • the two Base body layers 6, 7 are on both sides of the slide element 11 in the two strip-like areas in the longitudinal direction 10 13, 14 glued together.
  • the through-opening is on the slide element 11 12 a grip section 15 protruding from the base body 5 arranged, in the embodiment of an additional Cardboard piece is formed on the other slide element 11 is glued on.
  • the Through opening 12 On in the longitudinal direction 10 of the handle section 15 opposite end, on the other hand the Through opening 12, the slide element 11 is entrained connected to a closure means 16, the arrangement is taken so that the slide element 11 from a starting position ( Figures 1 and 3) in which his Through opening 12 at the location of the through opening 8 of the base body 5 is located by pulling on the handle section 15 by hand, taking the closure means 16 into one Closed position ( Figures 2 and 4) can be transferred in the the closure means 16 closes the passage opening 8.
  • the slide element 11 When new and when the filter bag in the vacuum cleaner Device is used, the slide element 11 thus takes the Starting position in which its through opening 12 with the passage opening 8 of the base body is aligned so that the dust air can get into the filter bag unhindered.
  • the closure means is 16th also housed in the starting position within the base body 5, so that it does not protrude outwards.
  • the distance between the passage opening 8 and that of the handle section 15 opposite edge 17 of the base body 5 is, however smaller than the diameter of the passage opening 8 and thus shorter than that with reference to the diameter mentioned slightly larger distance that the slide element 11 at Transfer to the closed position. So despite of these dimensions, the closure means 16 at the edge 17 does not protrude from the base body but within this is housed, the closure means 16 in Longitudinal direction 10 designed to be extendable.

In the embodiment there is the plastic material strand 22 between the lower base body layer 7 and the corresponding slide element extended far towards the edge 17 of the base body 11. However, it could also be between the upper body position 6 and the slide element 11 may be arranged. In the preparation of connector 1 can be done so that one to the top of the exposed base body layer 7 applies the plastic material strand 22, after which one puts on the slide element 11 and then over it attaches the upper base layer 6 and on the two side Basic body regions 13, 14 (see FIGS. 1, 2 and 5) glued to the lower base body layer.
  • the plastic material forming strand 22 has adhesive Properties so that it is on the one hand with the slide element 11 and on the other hand with the base body 5 an adhesive connection comes in. It also has a viscous material appropriate behavior. When traction occurs the plastic material begins to flow and deforms itself plastic. The plastic material forming strand 22 has a chewing gum-like behavior, so to speak on. This means that the plastic material when Transfer the slide element 11 to the closed position one which closes the passage opening 8 of the base body 5 Sealing membrane 23 ( Figure 4) is pulled out.
  • the slide element 11 expediently consists of rigid Material, especially cardboard.
